He did really well, the only critisim I'd have is the spell when he kept playing the ball short and we kept losing it. I was screaming at he TV for him to just boot it. We got away with it as he pulled off a fantastic save, that he wouldn't have needed if he had just booted it. All that said its not really his fault as I assume he under instructions to go short all the time.

The amount of saves he made that won us matches last season often went unnoticed. His main faults were coming off his lines, and distribution.

In the opening two matches we have seen him become much more confident(maybe spider has something to do with this) when collecting the ball, both in the air and when in a one on one. His reaction saves don't seem to have gone anywhere.

Distribution is something that is hard to learn, it can be improved but not drastically. Hopefully Spider helps him with this as well.

Considering how much of our salary cap we would be spending on keepers, he is quality.
